Possibly the most famous of all modern day hair transplants, Wayne Rooney’s ongoing battle with his barnet has occupied many column inches over the years.

To his credit, Rooney has never hidden the fact that he’s undergone several procedures in his bid to beat his baldness, spending a reported £30,000 in the process.

In 2011, for example, he took to Twitter to proudly declare the start of his treatment and to show the results of the surgery. He’s also said to use hair thickening sprays too. And it’s still not working.

DAVID PLATT

Now a club consultant for Serie B side Palermo, Platt's hair transplant has taken years off

Maybe it was the pressure of trying to coach Mario Balotelli at Manchester City that made David Platt’s hair fall out?

It may, of course, just been genetics.

Now a club consultant for Palermo in Italy, Platty is clearly enjoying la dolce vita at the Serie B side, so much so that all his hair has come back. Mind you, that was because he had a hair transplant in 2016.

"I've struggled with male pattern hair loss for many years, and eventually got to a point where I decided it was time to address it,” he said.
“I'm thrilled with my new look and really impressed with my new hairline.”
